This is the thread where we will post details and announcements about the guest list - new names joining the line-up as well as anyone who has to drop out due to other commitments (hopefully that won't happen!!).

The Gatecon Team is pleased to announce our very first guest for The Invasion 2018. One of our staunchest supporters over the years Colin Cunningham is making a very welcome return back to the Gatecon Family.

Colin has attended nearly every Gatecon over the last 18 years, primarily due to his appearance as Major Davis on Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis but he has since appeared in many other fan-favourite shows including Sanctuary, Flashpoint,Falling Skies, Hell on Wheels and The Magicians.

Also returning for The Invasion 2018 are Barry Campbell and Andrew Jackson.

Barry is the former head of operations for the U.S. Navy's Arctic Submarine Laboratory and was also key in the filming of Continuum in the Arctic Ocean while Andrew is well-known to Stargate fans as Per'sus as well as roles in shows including Andromeda, Smallville and Dark Matter.

Joining the guest line-up for 2018 is Jill Teed who had a blast last year and can't wait to see everyone again.

Stargate fans will recognise Jill for her role as Yolanda Reese/Stacey Monroe in Wormhole X-Treme, although Jill has also appeared in many of our favourite shows including; Battlestar Galactica, Smallville, Caprica, Supernatural, Continuum and Arrow.

Best known to Stargate fans as Kasuf in both the original movie and SG-1, Erick has also appeared in many of our favourite shows over the years, including Heroes, NCIS, Warehouse 13, Scorpion and Grimm.

It's always great when we welcome back a returning guest to our next event. Likewise it's exciting when we welcome a new guest for the first time. Joining us at The Invasion in 2018 for his first Gatecon experience will be Rainbow Sun Francks, who played Lt Aiden Ford in Stargate Atlantis.

Meanwhile apologies for all the broken images on the forum - as you may know by now, Photobucket are holding their free account members to ransom by demanding $400 a year to provide third party hosting. Please bear with us while we change to an alternative method. The most crucial images will be replaced as time permits.
